The Tournament Experience
Action at BPC is strictly tournament-based. In accordance with mainland regulations, the club does not offer cash games or monetary payouts directly at the tables. Instead, players compete for "tickets," points, or credits that can be used for entry into larger championships like the CPG (China Poker Games) in Sanya or travel packages to international festivals.
The club is a central hub for the Beijing Star Poker League and frequently hosts regional stops for the Asia Poker League (APL). Throughout 2026, the club has continued its tradition of daily multi-table tournaments (MTTs) and satellites, attracting a high volume of players with varying experience levels.
